Objects of scientific investigation

Topics

Marine research deals with a wide variety of topics. Here we present current focal points of the community's work:

Climate & Ocean Circulation

A relationship with impact - state of the science

Um künftige Strategien für Forschungsprioritäten bzgl. der Beziehungen zwischen Klima und Ozean sowie zu den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf den Ozean zu entwickeln, wurde eine Strategiegruppe von Expert:innen zum Thema Ozeanzirkulation und Klima von KDM und dem Deutschen Klima-Konsortium e.V. established. This article summarises some of the work of this strategy group.

Deep Sea Minerals Research

Understanding this potential resource and its environment

This story map briefly outlines the work of the scientific community to explore mineral deposits in some of the most remote and least understood areas of the planet, and the potential impact of human exploitation of these resources.

Ocean Observing | Past, Present & Future

Our challenge is to learn everything we can about the ocean environment.

The Atlantic Ocean, so important for trade and fisheries, is one of nature's most important protective barriers against climate change. Yet despite all the evidence pointing to accelerated warming, increased acidification and slowing ocean circulation, initiatives to monitor these changes and predict related impacts remain spotty.

10 years KDM Brussels Office

German marine research in Europe

The KDM office in Brussels was established in mid-2009 and officially opened in January 2010. Since then, KDM has organised a variety of parliamentary briefings, events and exhibitions in cooperation with MEPs, European institutions and partners from academia and society. KDM is an active partner in various EU initiatives and projects. This is a photo history of KDM's work in Brussels.

Küstenbeobachtungen

Die deutschen Küstenbeobachtungssysteme in Nord- und Ostsee

Die Küstengebiete der Nord- und Ostsee sind Orte hoher Biodiversität und bilden die Lebensgrundlage für viele Menschen und Tiere. Der Menschengemachte Klimawandel und weitere Faktoren wie Nährstoffeinträge aus der Landwirtschaft machen den Ökosystemen zu schaffen. Um Veränderungen und Anpassungsprozesse der Küstengewässer zu überwachen sind wir auf Beobachtungsdaten über lange Zeiträume angewiesen. Autonome Messbojen, am Meeresgrund verankerte Messknoten so wie regelmäßige Ausfahrten mit Forschungsschiffen zu Zeitserienstationen sind Teil der Monitoring Netzwerke in deutschen Küstengewässern. Die Gemessenen Daten sind Grundlage für Modelle und Vorhersagen. Anhand ihrer, lassen sich Schutzmaßnahmen ergreifen und Trends bestimmen.
